outer tie rod different sizes?

so I was going to put my whiteline tie rod ends on this evening, and got the driverside on with no issue, however the passenger side had a smaller sized outer tie rod? how does this happen? will this require changeing out the whole passenger side tie rod, to fit the whiteline outer tie rod end/ball joint? This is some bad luck........

Prolly has aftermarket inner and outter tie rod on that side. The aftermarket one is 1mm the stock one is 12mm.

If you have a 1mm tie rod it certainly is time for an upgrade.

what are the original equipment measurements? anyone know? and the thread size/pitch of both the inner thread and outer thread? all the stores around town want to replace the passenger side inner tie rod with the same rod, that is smaller then the thread for the whiteline tie rod end?
